"Simplicity"

"Simplicity"



Simplicity it works for me
It keeps me runnin' hard, and sharp and true
I focus on the basic stuff
And pretty soon I'm comin up on you
So much clutter clouds our way
Fundamentals win the day

I break you down size you up
I see a path and then I bust a move
Before you know we'll hit you babe
I finish and I'm on to somethin' new
Complex theories have thier place
I like throwdowns in your face
Its clear, when it's really really near
And its everything you need
Rise and be worthy of the prize
Get exactly what you need

Simplicity in everything
In every single thing you say and do
Don't get lost, in foggy stuff
Stay on track and let it come to you
Keep your focus on your goal
Use that iron hard control
Use your power and your speed
Get exactly what you need

"So I Wrote You A Song"

"So I Wrote You A Song"



I woke up with this feeling
There was something I needed to say
So I wrote you a song

Lately girl I've been dreamin'
Dreamin' 'bout you all through the day
So I wrote you a song

Hope the words will be right
When I see you tonight
You'll know how I feel
I'm no longer alone
Think I've found me a home
And I think it's real
I woke up with this feeling
Haven't felt it for quite some time
So I wrote you a song

All these thoughts I've been dreaming
Somehow I've got to make them right
Got to make them belong

Everytime that you're here
Everytime that you're near
Everything is real
I'm no longer alone
Think I've found me a home
And I think it's real
So I wrote you a song

"Sock It To Me Santa"

"Sock It To Me Santa"


[Talking intro:]
You know what pop? What's that son?
Christmas just isn't gonna be the same this year.
Why is that?

Cause Santa's got a brand new bag!

Come on jump up, ohhhh
Sock it to me Santa, you know what I like
Sock it to me Santa, just bring me a bike
Christmas just won't be a drag, Santa's got a brand new bag

Don't you dare let those children bring you down
You gotta spread those toys all over town
My stocking's all hung so you can see
Don't hang me up Santa lay some toys on me
Sock it to me Santa you know where it's at
Sock it to me Santa I want a baseball bat
Christmas just won't be a drag, cause Santa's got a brand new bag
I say come on Dancer, come on Prancer
A brand new Santa's got to be the answer
Come on Comet, and come on Cupid
Don't just stand there lookin' stupid

[guitar solo]

He's got a bright red cape and a white moustache (sock it to me Santa)
He's got lots of toys but no time for trash (sock it to me Santa)
He's dressed real warm from his head to his toes (sock it to me Santa)
He lost a little weight but his jelly still rolls (sock it to me Santa)
Sock it to me Santa, you heard what I said
Sock it to me Santa, just bring me a sled
Christmas just won't be a drag, cause Santa's got a brand new bag

Sock it to me Santa
Sock it to me Santa

"Someday"

"Someday"



Someday, I know I'll find that road
And I, will pay back all I've owed
Somehow, I'll bear that heavy load
Someday

I know, I've never been the best
Never quite kept up with the rest
But someday you'll see I've reached that crest
Someday

And then we'll smile
And toast our glasses high
And the world will know
You and I

Till then in spite of all I've done
I'll keep on reachin for the sun
And someday we'll be number one
Someday

"Something Like"

"Something Like"



When she's needing Today will soon be yesterday
Giving all there is Tommorrow she might
And remember this Not even be there
Something like staying When she does what she does
When she's lonely And it doesn't fit
Even though you"re late You'll get by if you try
Everything will wait You'll get over it
Ooh, it's something like loving
If she means so much to you
There's not a thing you shouldn't do Ooh, it's something like love
If it will help to show her that you care. It's something like accepting
Everything about a woman
All the bad things, too
She can change for you
Something like loving
Oh, it's something like love, yeah.
It's a brand new morning
Of a brand new day.
It's a brand new chance
To make it all work out some way.
To right the wrongs
Within the songs of yesterday
It's a brand new morning
Oh, it's a brand new day.

"Sometimes"

"Sometimes"



Sometimes I move in chains
But I never feel the pain
I wish I could explain
Sometimes

Sometimes it goes so fast
I try to make some moment last
I watch it slippin' past
Sometimes

I get this infernal need
I'm losin' ground
Gotta make up speed
Right now
Something's there just out of reach
Something I'm not sure I need
Something I just can't let be
Touchin' something deep in me

Sometimes burnin' bright
In the dark heart of the night
I think I see a light
Sometimes

Sometimes I hear the sound
Of some night train leavin' town
I want to chase it down
Sometimes

I want to catch that train
I want to get on board
I want to ride away to some distant shore
Right now
I want to leave behind this hopeless maze
Of broken dreams and endless days
I want to wake up some place far away
I wanna wake up to a brand new day
Sometimes

Sometimes I move in chains
But I never feel the pain
I wish I could explain
Sometimes

Sometimes it goes so fast
I try to make some moment last
I watch it slippin' past
Sometimes

I watch it slippin' past
Sometimes

"Sometimes"

"Sometimes"



Sometimes you're far away.
Sometimes you just don't hear
A single word I say.
Sometimes you just don't care,
Sometimes you just don't care, at all.

Sometimes I don't know why,
Sometimes I don't know why.
Sometimes I don't know why
I love you, sometimes.
You never look at me,
You're always somewhere else.
We might be all alone
But you're all by yourself.
You tell me that you're tired,
You tell me that you're tired
And that's all.

Sometimes I think I'll leave,
You wouldn't miss me much.
And then you take my hand,
Ooh, and then I feel your touch.
Suddenly I know,
Yeah, suddenly I know
Why I'm here.

"Somewhere Tonight"

"Somewhere Tonight"



Somewhere tonight
Someone's reachin' out to someone who's refusin'
Someone's tired of all the reasons someone's using
Someone doesn't understand

Somewhere tonight
Someone's thinkin' back to someone who got closer
Someone's realizin' something's really over
Someone's thinkin' it's too late
Someone's thinkin' it's too late

There's a cold wind blowin' from the north
And the summer birds are leavin'
As the sun slips ever further south
The lakes will soon be freezin'
And the ice will claim the empty shores
Where the one's in love went walkin'
And the hard blue skies will shiver
As the winter clouds come stalkin'

And unless you find someone to hold
Unless someone starts carin'
Unless you find the warmth you need
Unless someone starts sharin'
When the long, dark nights come closin' in
And the winter winds come howlin'
You don't know if you'll make it
Without someone you can count on

Somewhere tonight
Someone's packin' up and someone's really leavin'

Someone's not quite sad - only disbelievin'
Someone's walkin' out the door
Someone's walkin' out the door

"Song For Him"

"Song For Him"



I've been lonely but not lonelier than Him
I've been lonely but not lonelier than Him
When I'm lonely still I know
He'll forgive me yes it's so
I've been lonely but not lonelier than Him
I've been sorry not sorryer than Him
I've been sorry not sorryer than Him
When I'm sorry I remember
That he loves me
And I'm better

I've been sorry not sorryer than Him
It doesn't matter if I'm wrong it doesn't matter if I'm right
He's with me at the break of dawn
He's every star that shines at night
I've been happy but not happier than Him
I've been happy but not happier than Him
When I'm happy skies are blue
I forget him still it's true
I've been happy but not happier than Him
But not sorrier than Him
But not lonelier than Him
